FAQ
A guardianship letter is a document that allows you to transfer guardianship of a child temporarily. A guardianship letter allows you to give grandparents or other close friends or relatives legal custody and guardianship over your children.
You must file a petition. The court will appoint someone to do an investigation. There will be a hearing before a judge. You need to hire a family law attorney to help you with the petition, including getting the needed documentation and making sure you understand your duties as guardian.
Introduction: - Introduce yourself (your name and age). - Briefly state the purpose of your letter (to request a change in custody). Body: - Explain Your Situation: Describe your current living situation and why you feel a change is necessary. Be honest about your feelings and experiences. Reasons for Change:
You should list the name of each child and then include the child's permanent address, phone number, and date of birth. Underneath the information on your children, include information about the temporary guardian: name, address, phone number, email, and relationship to the child.
There is no set time. However, from the time counsel is retained, it usually takes about 2-4 months total for the guardian to begin acting. However, if a guardian is needed immediately, the judge can appoint a “temporary guardian” while everything gets sorted out. This speeds up the process.
How to Open an Adult Guardianship Case. If you want to be the guardian over an adult, there are many forms you must fill out to open a case.

The guardian must NOT be mentally incompetent. The guardian must be over the age of 18. If the guardian is not a Nevada resident the guardian must designate a registered agent. The guardian cannot have any felony convictions, no matter how old the conviction.
